Did anyone apply to the John B. Ervin Scholarship? My recommender sent a recommendation letter but I’m not sure if they got it. There was no email confirmation and WUSTL didn’t show it was submitted but I’m sure it was sent since I worked with my recommender to get it done
Mine is down again
@trinhtattran Mine looks like that too! :((
I can’t even login. What should we do? Today’s not even the deadline.
Do you think they will accept it by email?
Honestly, if they don’t, we can petition. This is what I wrote to them on email. I will send them tomorrow if I still can’ access and submit them.
Hello,
In order to submit my scholarships and have a fair chance to be considered for them, I decide to just attach these scholarships (including my name and email in the header) to you before the deadline 5PM Central Time Jan 15, 2015. I was unable to access WUSTL Pathway and also was many others who I talked to on College Confidential. I also could not save my essays. Please also consider submission of many who were having the same problems as mine. I have tried to use different PCs and browsers but none of my efforts worked. Due to different time zone, many people already went to sleep so I believe they should be considered eligible for their time and effort on trying to submit these essays.
I named the 5 scholarships that I was applying to and the italicized prompts.
I am having trouble as well. My essays are not saving, and I cannot submit either of my applications.
(*I have tried multiple browsers, PCs, etc.)
:((
It’s so unfortunate that the deadline is tomorrow. I hope that they fix this soon, or push the deadline back.
will they accept emailed submissions?
it just back down and back up…
Mine’s working now. Just successfully submitted Danforth w/o “deadlock” error.
Yep, I just got to submit all the ones I wanted to know!
This was posted on the admission website:
Because of the server problems that have been reported, we are extending the scholarship deadline until 9:00 a.m. Central Time on Friday, January 16. Please complete and submit your scholarship applications by that time. At 9:00 a.m. Central Time, the scholarship application will be removed from the Pathway and all scholarship files will be sent to the committees for review.
Question to hagzzz (posts 195): when you put in your essay, did the system remove all paragraph breaks and put your essay in one big paragraph? Thanks.
@Madison2017 that happenend to one of my child’s essays also. The other one was fine. In the FAQ’s it says not to worry about formatting, they know it gets messed up sometimes. They only care about content.
I love that they extended the deadline after I’d gotten up at 4:00 am to submit my scholarship apps…
How long did it take after submitting the common app to get the login info for the pathway?
Also, can anyone confirm the extention to the dealine?
when you guys clicked submit, did the green check box automatically show up or did it still say application in progress?
and yes the deadline has been extended until tomorrow morning
Yes, submitted commonapp today, but still didn’t get the login info for the pathway. Don’t know how I’m going to submit the scholarship essays.
